The answer is the Amritsar Massacre. The said massacre happened on April 13, 1919. Pilgrims and protesters were not aware of the ongoing martial law in Punjab. They were gathered to celebrate a religious festival of the Baisakhi people when suddenly they were killed by the British Indian Army which was led by  Colonel Reginald Dyers.
